fish pie is nice in rainy cold windy weather

This is my rendition of Jamie Oliver's fish pie. From his ministry of food book.

Delicious.

It sounds strange and looks strange before it is cooked. It is great once cooked.

Eat it in cold weather with tomato sauce.

Maybe put some green stuff on the plate to go with it - salad, beans, peas.. your choice (or just be lazy and eat pie by itself)

I do not like food that has had all the flavour sucked out of it in the interests of being healthy, gluten free, lactose free etc. This meal is actually super healthy and doesn't sacrifice flavour for the healthy factor. Yay. It is also gluten free (amazing).

Serves 6-8

300g salmon, skin removed, cut into bite sized chunks

300g smoked cod fillet, skin removed, cut into bite sized chunks

150g peeled and deveined prawns

1 carrot

1 bulb fennel

2 stalks celery

150g cheese (I used 80g cheddar and 70g parmesan), plus extra for sprinkling

1 tbsp grainy mustard

1 red chilli, roughly chopped

Zest of 2 lemons

Juice of 1 lemon

Handful of chopped flat leaf parsley

A large handful of baby spinach leaves

800g potatoes

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 200C.

Cut the potatoes into chunks and put into a pot of salted water on the stove. Bring to the boil then simmer until tender. Drain well. Mash the potatoes, add a good glug of olive oil and plenty of salt and pepper.

Grate the carrot, celery, fennel and cheese. Mix with the mustard, chilli, lemon juice and zest, parsley, baby spinach and seafood.

Pile the mixture into a large casserole dish. Smooth out gently. Pour over the mashed potatoes. Make a nice spiky design on top - this will help it go crispy. Sprinkle over extra parmesan cheese.

Bake on a tray in the oven for 40 minutes or until cooked through. Yum.
